This new selection includes new work as well as poems from Conn's previous British Bloodaxe volumes: In the Kibble Palace, The Luncheon of the Boating Party, and In the Blood (all available from Dufour). Stewart Conn's poetry explores "our dependence on one another, our vulnerability in an arbitrary world of joys and ills, our place in the natural world, and the discovery of our humanity through love" (James Aitchison).
